There are so many things wrong with this company, it is hard to enumerate. First, the base pay is well below what most of their competitors are. Their vendor partners offer much higher salaries and the earning potential is much greater at other organizations. I also realized soon after I started my employment, that the sales team was complaining about commissions not being paid, and this was a common complaint. One can ascertain that they pay out only when the company finances are completely in order (which doesn't seem like it is often). The members of the SOC also complain that the company does not pay out on their "Golden Nugget Program" where the team gets an incentive to find data leakage problems with their clients.
I also noticed that the company doesn't like to let employees have personal time off. Multiple employees had babies born while employed at BEW Global, however there have been instances where employees expecting children to be born soon were not allowed to work from home and were requested to take PTO instead. The managers have stated that the reason these employees have to take PTO versus working from home is because the new baby will be a huge distraction to the employee. One manager even said to the team: "it doesn't take a week to have a baby, please make sure that PTO is entered into the system". The emphasis on family values at this company are atrocious. If you have a spouse, children or other family obligations, the company expects you to put the company first. Many people at this company with children constantly miss out on family time because the culture doesn't support a family environment.
The training that has been mentioned in prior reviews, is absolutely correct. I never saw $1.00 spent on my training let along $5,000. Their training methods are putting one of the C-level executives in the boardroom and everyone listens to his pitch of the company or to common problems in the industry. A more thorough investment in your employees would be wise, especially considering how high the turnover is here.
The environment at the office is not as professional as it should be, and the ones who are professional are not the ones leading the company. The upper management so crass, I have heard them bring up atrocious comments in front of female employees that I would be embarrassed to even mention. Plus, it is common knowledge that you are either a part of the "in group" and party like its 1999 with the management team, or you are NOT a part of the "in crowd" and you are ostracized from social aspects of the organization. Most of us with families are not a part of the "in crowd" because our lifestyle choices are more family oriented and less focused on partying. It is well known that to move up within an organization like this, you have to be friends with management, or your time is limited.
Open door policy - RIGHT! If I wanted to get fired, I would express concerns. I only expressed a few light concerns when I resigned, it wasn't worth wasting my breath trying to explain to management my ultimate disdain for the company. The reasons I left were because of fundamental differences in my thoughts, opinions and beliefs than what management was promoting.
